Elspeth is about to phone her parents and tell them that she made it safely to her new house when she realizes on how many levels she isn't going to be able to do that.

One: she doesn't know who her parents are. She just has a vague parent-shaped impression that they were fine probably. They don't have names or faces or habits or histories.

Two: they aren't in her phone. Nobody is in her phone. The phone is as though brand-new.

Three: Now that she is realizing the above, she is no longer sure she should be telling anybody she made it safely to her new house.

"Hi, Vicky. I'm Elspeth," says Elspeth. "Thanks for bringing food."

Permalink

    "You're welcome! It's all vegetarian-friendly. We hope you like it!"

Permalink

"...why is it vegetarian-friendly?"

Permalink

    "Well, we didn't know if you were vegetarian or not. We wouldn't want to offend."

Permalink

"Okay. I'm not a vegetarian but thank you."

Permalink

    "Of course!"

The three of them are still holding their trays out to her and watching her somewhat expectantly.

Permalink

She takes a tray and brings it in to her kitchen.

Permalink

The three people follow her in and find suitable surfaces to place the food on.

"What brings you to San Myshuno?" asks the one called George.

Permalink

"I don't know. What usually brings people to San Myshuno?"

Permalink

        "It's a very cosmopolitan area!" he replies. "Everything is close to everything else, the skyscrapers are so exciting, and the nightlife is a lot of fun."

    "I really like going clubbing at night," says Victoria.

"It's a great place to be," agrees Tara.

"Thanks," says Elspeth. "Hey, do you know if there's anything going around that might cause amnesia?"

Permalink

"No! I've never heard of anything like that," Tara says. "That sounds alarming."

Permalink

"It is yeah. Do you have a doctor you recommend around here?"

Permalink

"The San Myshuno General Hospital is ten minutes away by car," says Victoria. "Are you feeling ill?"

Permalink

"Well, I might have amnesia. Could any of you give me a ride?"

Permalink

"I have a car! I could take you there," says George.

Permalink

"Thanks, George." She fridges the food and follows him to his car.

Permalink

The other two wave them goodbye and go back to their own places.

George lives two houses down from Elspeth's new place. He opens the door to his car for her when they get there, and once they're both inside he starts driving towards the city proper.

Permalink

She tries to think if there's anything she can remember or feels like she ought to be able to, so she'll be able to present the ER with a coherent story insofar as that is possible.

Permalink

She has memories, or something that could almost be called that. She was raised by people, and had a childhood. That childhood had events of various different natures. She went to school somewhere, and may or may not have gone to university after high school. She may or may not have had jobs before. She may or may not have had friends. She probably lived somewhere.

And eventually she decided to move from that somewhere to San Myshuno to pursue her career as a journalist.

Permalink

Does she know how old she is? Does she know her blood type? Does she know her previous address? Does she know her own phone number?

Permalink

She is a young adult! She probably has a blood type and probably lived somewhere before living here. She does know her phone number.

Permalink

Does she remember memorizing her phone number.

Permalink

Not as a discrete event that definitely happened at any specific time, no.

Permalink

Can she remember ANY discrete events that definitely happened at any specific times before she decided not to try to call her parents.
